Hey, asshole, I have *NO* intention of ever forgiving you for deciding that going to fuck for a weekend was more important than yours or any body's health when it come to an easily communicable disease.

People are dying of AIDS because they were that desperate for a fuck.  You've just introduced a new disease into that same equation.  Not sexually transmitted, no, but passed on because you can't keep your god damn dick in your pants for 3 days.

You don't deserve forgiveness.  You deserve jail time.

Let Bubba show you what happens when someone can't hold back their urge to fuck.

Being told you might have TB is not something to just blow off, wedding (and honeymoon) or not.

Being told NOT TO COME BACK AND COMING BACK ANYWAYS is utterly unforgivable.

Typhoid fucking mary, he may have *killed people* because he just HAD to go do that wedding. Not least of which his new wife, who's pretty much guaranteed to have it as a result of their honeymoon activities. They shouldn't just be quarenteing him right now...

The s.o.b. at the border should also be shot. Smallpox carriers "look fine and healthy" for the first few days they carry the disease in a communicable form.

The insolence and ignorance by EVERYBODY involved in this is just astounding and i have no intention of "forgiving" anybody involved.

If I were to say that you were being immoderate here, you'd fly out to the west coast and shoot me, wouldn't you?

I think he was appallingly stupid, but I am reserving my judgment until we know how many people were actually infected and how communicable TB actually is over a short period.

Suppose it wasn't TB? Suppose it was smallpox or anthrax both of which have low-impact symptoms before the real "disease" kicks in and both of which are hard to identify without a time-consuming culture sample and process. I could, if I wanted, look up a number of others.

The point is that he was told he likely had a communicable disease, one he knew next to nothing about the symptoms or effects of, was requested not to travel, and put his need to get married and get fucked ahead of the concerns of those in the know who knew he might be carrying something dangerous.

We've gotten insanely spoiled by not having any real epidemics here since the big flu bug of 1918. That's not a record to be trifled with.

I can understand why the guy thought it was nothing, considering that most people have never seen a case of TB, and don't know how bad it could be.

Also, his reaction, albite stupid, is understandable since they scared the crap out of him by not giving him the proper information in the first place.

Personally, I think we should all be concerned that, in every way, that everyone involved dropped the ball. Fact is, even if they didn't think he was contageous, they should have grounded him until they got the tests back.

Unfortunately, they have the perfect scapegoat in this idiot, so probably nothing will be done.

The one I really think needs to get beaten is his father-in-law. The TB researcher, who clearly was in on the decision to travel in the first place, besed on his comments in the article. The lawyer, yes, deserves a beating, but just lock him in his isolation ward, let him deal with the legal consequences of his actions, his punishments are in the pipe. The father-in-law should be up for review at his place of work, and never put in a position where he makes decisions that could result in the spread of diseases. If that means his career is over, well, that's what happens when you exercise horrible judgement. And let's see. He's a TB researcher. His son-in-law gets a rare form of TB and they can't figure out how he got it. Hmm.....
